Working Girl

Product Notes

We are Cedar Grove: Debra Davis on Acoustic Bass and LoisMae Howard on Banjo and Guitar. Loismae writes all the songs. Debra played rock and roll bass for 10 years, then gave it up. She started playing 'Brunhilda' about three years ago and went to her first bluegrass event in Tacoma, Washington -- Wintergrass. LoisMae has been picking and grinning for about 30 years, went to music school at Portland State University and became a piano teacher. She is busy now writing songs for Cedar Grove's next CD. Both of us have spent our lives singing and now we sing together. Our album 'Working Girl' was reviewed by Captain Steve in the Bluegrass Gazette: 'Two gals from Port Angeles who play a lot of coffeehouse gigs have put their talents together to produce this CD of music about girls of all kinds who seem to be in some difficulty. The melodies are sometimes haunting and tend to get a little repetitive but the harmony is pleasant and the instrumental work is very good. Who for: Those who lean toward the 'folk' side of bluegrass, women, men who like women, and anyone who enjoys good female harmony.'
